421: Chapter 421 Tian May Be Dead

Hearing these words, Qin Wushang was stunned.

He was quite surprised.

His person!

This incredibly powerful and mysterious woman actually said he was her person!

Was he about to latch onto the long legs of a wealthy woman?

Aunt Mei was shocked!

Immortal King Jun Juechen was shocked!

Wang Changsheng was shocked!

Di Qingli was shocked!

Qin Zhanzhou was also beyond shocked!

When did this kid hook up with such a powerhouse?

Is he really that charming?

Such a powerful being actually declared publicly that he was her person.

"What Senior says is absolutely correct; I was in the wrong."

Immortal King Jun Juechen lowered his head, his voice trembling.

He had no choice but to bow his head!

Things like Face meant nothing compared to one's life.

"From now on, should anyone bully the weak—if anyone more than two Realms higher takes action—don't blame this seat for personally visiting and exterminating your orthodoxy."

"When that time comes, even the Immortal Lord won't be able to protect you."

"Begone!"

The Desolate Master waved her jade hand, and the people of the Taiyi Immortal Sect immediately flew toward the immortal palace at their fastest speed.

As soon as they left, the shattered world began to recover.

However, the Lightning Tribulation had not ended.

"Buzz!"

The sky-covering umbrella shined with light, attempting to follow the Immortal Lord and leave.

"Did I let you leave?"

The Desolate Master reached out with her jade hand and snatched it.

"Little guy, I'm giving this to you."

As she spoke, a streak of immortal light entered it, instantly erasing the immortal soul imprint within.

Surprised, Qin Wushang hurriedly reached out to catch it.

"Thank you, Senior!"

This was good stuff; he wasn't going to be polite with the Immortal Lord.

"You've taken the item, aren't you going to help them shield the Heavenly Tribulation?"

The Desolate Master smiled.

Without the interference of her power, Wang Changsheng and Di Qingli were being submerged by the Lightning Tribulation.

"I'll still need Senior to act. My power is meager, and I can't make it recognize me as its master immediately."

"I implore Senior to take action and lend them a helping hand."

Qin Wushang said seriously.

Although this sky-covering umbrella no longer had an immortal soul imprint and was an ownerless object...

With his current strength, establishing ownership would take quite a bit of time.

"Don't you have a cauldron? That is also an ancient immortal weapon. If that could recognize you as master, why can't this?"

The Desolate Master asked.

While this seemed like a gift, it was actually a test to see how Qin Wushang had claimed the chaos yin-yang cauldron.

"This... Senior, the process for that cauldron was a bit special, not quite the same."

"So... having this one recognize me is a bit difficult."

Qin Wushang replied in a low voice.

That chaos yin-yang cauldron was a product of the System; how could it possibly be the same as this sky-covering umbrella?

"Buzz!"

As his words fell, the sky-covering umbrella flew out.

"Boom!"

It suddenly expanded, becoming as vast as the world itself, shielding the two of them.

Brilliant immortal runes shined, and the Lightning Tribulation dissipated, leaving only the one above Chu Yuehua's head.

"Quite a character, to think of such a way to achieve the Dao... once successful, she'll be able to challenge that group of fake immortals."

The Desolate Master spoke with a hint of admiration.

"fake immortals... Senior, do you know why they are called fake immortals?"

Qin Wushang asked curiously.

The immortals of the Immortal Realm were different from the immortals recorded in ancient books; they could not be eternal.

He was curious about where the discrepancy lay.

"On the ancient path of cultivation, above the pinnacle of the Human Dao is indeed the Immortal."

"That is, the True Immortal."

"True Immortals have no shackles on their Lifespan. As long as they don't encounter a more powerful existence that kills them, they are immortal, living as long as the Heavenly Dao."

"Such beings are also known as Eternal Immortals."

"There is only one way to step into this Realm, and that is to become a Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor."

"But at most, there is only one Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor per epoch, and a Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor won't necessarily become an Eternal Immortal... so such existences are extremely rare."

The Desolate Master explained slowly.

Qin Wushang and Qin Zhanzhou were both incredibly shocked by what they heard.

"An unknown number of epochs ago, the immortal path was severed, and a great hero emerged in the world..."

"For the sake of longevity, he created his own path to immortality and founded the Immortal Realm."

"But this path is not recognized by the Heavenly Dao, so it cannot achieve eternal immortality."

"Becoming an immortal through this path is relatively easy, but the price is that one's true strength is inferior to an Eternal Immortal."

All growth comes with a price; the greater the price, the greater the growth.

Cultivation was the same.

What is easily obtained does not go far.

"That being, they revere as the Immortal Lord. The Immortal Lord divided the immortal path into Ranks."

"Above the Great Emperor is the True Immortal, above the True Immortal is the Immortal King, and then the Immortal Emperor."

"But even so, after countless ages, he has not been able to become an Immortal Emperor."

The two were greatly shocked.

The Immortal Lord!

To think he was such a terrifying existence.

Defining cultivation Realms, reconnecting the severed immortal path, and even building the Immortal Realm.

It all sounded like a form of madness!

Yet the Immortal Lord had achieved it.

"The Immortal King Jun Juechen from just now was an Immortal King, and that heavily injured woman—in the classification of Immortal Realm beings—is a Half-Step Immortal King."

The Desolate Master addressed the doubts in their hearts.

"Thank you, Senior, for clarifying!"

After listening, Qin Wushang bowed once more with cupped hands.

"Wait! Senior!"

"If one steps onto the immortal path of the Immortal Realm, is their own Dao forever restricted by the Immortal Realm?"

He asked another question.

This was also a problem that had troubled him.

"Yes."

"Theoretically speaking, that is the case."

"Everything in the Immortal Realm exists because of the Immortal Lord, including the Dao practiced by all living beings and the derived immortal substance. In essence, they all belong to the Immortal Lord."

"Therefore, the beings of the Immortal Realm are all the Immortal Lord's subjects."

The Desolate Master nodded.

"What about Senior? Are you an Immortal Emperor, or perhaps a so-called Eternal Immortal?"

Qin Wushang hurriedly followed up.

To be able to slap Immortal King Jun Juechen's Face so easily, she could not be underestimated.

"I was once a Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor; I received the Mandate of Heaven and produced immortal substance."

"But before I could step onto the immortal path, a great calamity destroyed both the immortal path and the Immortal Realm."

"As for whether I am an Eternal Immortal myself, I am not sure."

She was strong, but exactly how strong...

She didn't know either.

There weren't many beings in the world who could allow her to verify it.

"Calamity?"

Qin Wushang's brow furrowed, immediately thinking of the Source Beast.

Could it be related to those things?

"Is the calamity the so-called Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth?"

He continued to press.

"I don't know... if I knew everything, why would I need to hide in the Desolate Ancient Great World all this time?"

The Desolate Master shook her head.

There were some secrets in this world that she had not unraveled even after living for countless ages.

Qin Wushang: "..."

"Senior! Does the Desolate Ancient Great World have a connection to the former Immortal Realm?"

Qin Zhanzhou, who had been silent for a long time, inquired.

"I'm not clear!"

"Regardless, that place... allows beings like me to set foot and stay."

"Unlike here, where I would be rejected by the Heavenly Dao."

The Desolate Master shook her head with a wry smile.

She turned her head to look at Qin Wushang, her expression becoming serious.

"This epoch is extraordinary."

"Your chance is great."

"However, you need to note one thing: the Immortal Lord said that Heaven might already be dead, and the Heavenly Mandate might not appear!"
